Gorge-athon (Part 5)


Damn, lagging behind on these.

It's like Hyla says, "Novem-blahs", no motivation....


Moxie (1884-present)


The soda-

The official soda of Maine.

It's um...an acquired taste.

Or not, if you're not a pussy.

"And the girls will think you're foxy if you chug-a-lug a Moxie, and never shooow the paaain! State-o-Maaaine!".

The history-

Used to be nationwide, and it's where the old 30's-40's saying "you've got Moxie, kid!", comes from.


Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray (1868-present)


The soda-

Yep, it's celery soda.

And, I love it.

It's kind of like ginger ale, but with celery on the back end.

I actually like it better than ginger ale.

The history-

If I could get ahold of a steady local supply, and I didn't have my acid/gout problems, I'd drink this, and Moxie instead of cola and ginger ale.

But, I do have acid problems, so...pppt, the dream is over.

For me.
For you, go to the grocery section of Amazon, and you can totally get these now.



All right, obligatory reviews out of the way....

Beverage recipes.....


Green slimer juice

Gallon pitcher

Frozen orange juice

Lime Kool-Aid

Make the orange juice, follow instructions on can.

Add packet of lime Kool-Aid, add sugar as instructed on packet, add water to fill line of pitcher, stir two-handed with long wooden spoon until shoulder blades hurt.

Green dye and opaqueness of orange juice should make a nice nasty slime color.
Well..kinda like that Cel-Ray can up there.

Kids love it.


Ginger ale float

Same as rootbeer float, but use ginger ale.

Hmm...wonder if Cel-Ray would go....

Bet Moxie float would be good too....


Milk and Pepsi

Half glass of milk, half glass of Pepsi.

Stole this from "Laverne & Shirley", actually.

Sitcoms don't invent foods anymore....


Ginger ale in Jell-o

Add ginger ale instead of the second cup of water.

Keeps its fizz, the bubbles freeze in the Jell-o, and even have their tingle.
It's weird.


Aaand, that's today's.

Tomorrow, fancier recipes.

Try Tang in milk instead of water. Tastes like a creamsicle.
